At home

A dashboard I built for home.

From March to July 2026 I designed and built a dashboard for a 7-inch touchscreen on a Raspberry Pi: the time, the next tram, the weather, two lamps, the TV and the news, readable from across the room.

The layout, the app and its small server are mine, written with AI coding assistants. Home Assistant switches the lamps and the TV; tram times come from Digitransit and the weather from Open-Meteo.

Also at home: I’ve been modifying my coffee machine with Gaggiuino ↗, the community-built, open-source control system.

The dashboard in bold coloured tiles: a large clock, the next tram, the weather with a curve towards the morning, two lamps at 2700 K, tram departures, the TV and news headlines
Rendered from the dashboard’s own code in October 2026, with the two lamp readings supplied and the tram stops replaced.
